John Jonas explains, in a short YouTube monologue, how permanently delegating tasks transforms how a business runs. He recommends handing tasks over, letting people own them, then gradually assigning additional tasks so you can step back into a CEO role; the result is smoother operations, increased effectiveness, and less personal workload.

It's such a big deal to get something off of your plate permanently. And once you do, you'll never go back to working the way you were the day before. Then when they're doing that task really well and it's been a little while, you can ask them, hey, can you take on another task? And then, without needing to hire someone else, hopefully you can get a second task off of your plate. And now you're starting the process of building your business differently based on other people doing the work. What happens next is what really amazing. The next time you have something you're thinking about a process in your business, something you need to do, you'll think, huh, I wonder if someone else could do this thing for me? And then you'll think, of course someone else could do this. Let me go find the right person. And from there on, things are different. You're more effective in your business, you're working less. Everything runs more smoothly when you get the right people doing the work for you in the business, and you're able to step away and be the CEO and understand the big picture.
